It's just that people in ineptocracies don't want to stand up and do things for themselves. There is the guy by the name of Israel Mosala from Meadowlands who endeavours to create awareness amongst the people affected, but nobody seems to care. Each month around the 15, 16th the Earthlife Society holds monthly meetings at Joubert Park in the Greenhouse but none of the affected communities pitch up. People who attend are from the affluent communities who are not imminently affected by this. None of the political organisations seem to care about it. This AMD, if it goes unabated will result to the caving-in of the entire JHB. Believe it or not it' true. I'm not an alarmaist. Visit http://www.earthlife.org.za/?p=1163
Any way what makes things worse is the fact that our so called liberators have turned against the very same poor and marginalised souls that voted them into power.
Until the poor and marginalised masses wake from their slumber this will not change. Its a sad story indeed, but a common African tale.
People are collonised, a liberation movement "rescues them " from their chains, the liberation movement promises heaven and earth whilst placing new chains on the poor.

People are forced to flock in their thousands to the cities where housing is non-existant because of the total collapse of the ANC government's administration in most rural areas.
They are no different to the other thousands of African refugees that flood across our border every day in search of "a bit of gold" (sic) because their own countries have failed them.
If you carry on voting for the ANC you can expect to see more and more of this in the future. Since the tax burden is falling on an ever smaller proportion of citizens it won't be long before we reach the point of absolute no return as the demand for services increases caused by the social burden created by the ANC's incompetence, theft and corruption, which starts to exceed the national income.
Then "BOOM". Suddenly, while you are still shouting "VIVA REVOLUTION" and "WE WANT ECONOMIC FREEDOM" our economy will resemble that of Zimbabwe and Somalia and Malawi and Sierra Leone and the likes of other African economies led by the despotic leaders so championed by Malema.
Think carefully. The line between being rich and poor as an individual is often very narrow, but for a nation, it is often even more narrow. Report Abuse

Which city is that, that has no housing? Is the government supposed to deliver housing on demand? You arrive in Jozi today and you make the 6pm news with keys to your new RDP house? Really now, you can think, i know you can.
Our economy will never resemble any other but our own. How would you feel if I said to you our economy will resemble that of America or Greece? Hah? How would you feel?
